An approach to fatigue assessment of metals under biharmonic loading.
PublicationRozpatrywane są kryteria nieograniczonej i ograniczonej trwałości zmęczeniowej metalicznych elementów poddanych biharmonicznemu naprężeniu, którego jedna składowa ma niską częstość. Założono, że składowa ta może być traktowana jako wolno zmieniające się w czasie naprężenie średnie. Kryteria zmęczeniowe sformułowano za pomocą równań Goodmana i Soderberga. Dyskutowane są wyniki przykładowych obliczeń.
